Question

Tyra wanted her dress muted with soft colors so that it would complement the vibrant surroundings.

Answer 1

I believe it would be D because A and B are talking about voices and C is talking about spelling while D is talking about minimizing something and that’s what “mute colors” are, just minimizing the amount color

Answer 2

Answer:

D. Barry was told to mute his hand motions when he was in front of the camera.

Explanation:

I'd have to say D because in the sentence given at the beginning of the question, the word "mute" is used as to tone down the color of her dress. So, we can tell that it's used to tone down on something. In the sentence in the last answer choice, he was told to mute his hand motions (used like to explain that he needs to tone down, or stop doing hand motions) while in front of the camera. We know it's not A, because mute in that sentence is used to describe someone who is silent, or does not talk. We know it's not B, because  the word is used to describe Ashlee as speechless. And, we know it's not C because the word is used to describe the b in the word "numb" as silent.

Therefore, I believe the correct answer choice is D.
